. >>> also, romney and obama seem to agree on outsourcing. they both hate it, but actually they should both embrace it. i'll tell you why. but first here's my take. over the last week as we watched rage and protest in the muslim world, people have asked why it's happening and because we're in a campaign season, that question has become a political one. some republicans say it is president obama's policies that have produced this atmosphere. he has projected weakness, offered olive branches, and been naive. but think about it. had president obama kept 100,000 troops occupying iraq, would that have made people in the middle east happier with america? had he given a more combative speech three years ago, would that have made radical islamists stay at home last week? the truth is, president obama nor any american president has much to do with t outbreak of protests over the last two weeks. it might be instructive to recall that after the 9/11 attacks, many asked the question why is there so much anger in the arab world, why do they hate us, and m

there's one thing that mitt romney and president obama are in agreement. outsourcing. >> we do not need an outsourcing pioneer in the oval office. we need a president who will fight for american jobs. >> if there's an outsourcing chief, it's the president of the united states, not at the guy who's running to replace him. >> every week both sides of the aisle bad mouth outsourcing. hang on. what's so bad about outsourcing? let's look at the facts. a common misconception about outsourcing is it is a zero-sum gain. by that we mean when the job is moved to china we tend to read the score as china, plus one, america, minus one. but a recent london school of economics and political science found that it actually improved the domestic job market. you can understand why. if a company can lower its costed by outsourcing, it is likely to survive and flourish and thus eventually hire more workers in mark. outsourcing is actually a fancy word for a simple ancient idea. people should specialize at what they do best. adam smith described it as far because as 1776. he wr

how can obama win. the average incumbent, the true incumbent, not someone who inherited the white house but someone who was elected already wins by an average of about six or seven points. if obama won the election by two or three points, that would be in some ways a tenuous position for an incumbent. but incumbent vs. -- incuents have run a campaign in a convention before. they'll probably make fewer errors around the margin. experience helps a bit. what incumbent normally do is fundraising. romney's raised a lot of money so far. the incumbency advantage is pretty powerful. >> no let's look at the electoral college and swing states. these are national numbers. when you narrow it down to looking at the places that are going to matter in delivering the magic 270 number, what do you see? >> well, i think ohio stands out first and foremost as being, as it often is, the most important state. you know, that's one state that you would think that if people are voting based on national economic conditions, mayb

did you know there is not one, not two, but five barack obamas running in brazil and 11 more obamas with different first names? candidates in local elections across that country have adopted some surprising names to try to distinguish themselves, to get attention. they' they're batman and robin, too. bin laden, superman, spiderman and a few michael jacksons. some of the candidates had the good luck to be born with names that might give them a political edge or might not. there is some ted kennedys, john kennedys. the candidates are likely to be remembered. president obama, if you need a new jingle, i know where you can find one. the correct answer to our gps challenge question was c. the united states has 11 aircraft carriers. the rest of the world has a grand total of 10. thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. >>> hello, everyone. i'm fredricka whitfield with a check of our top stories. two americans, one soldier and a civilian are dead after a fire fight broke out in afghanistan. it happened at a temporary ch k checkpoint operated by

we'll talk about who obama is and how he makes decisions. also, why is israel trying to get the united states to commit to waging war when israel itself isn't willing to do so. and finally we'll take a look at these pictures. do you think they were taken by nasa or the european space agency? no, a teenager with a second-hand camera. >>> but first here's my take. the images of the american embassy burning in benghazi might have conjured up memories of tehran in 1979, but the analogy is false. in libya, the government is not fomenting anti-americanism. it's lamb meanting it. the violence there appears to have been the work of small extremist elements that lack much popular support. but the storm has spread from libya. across the middle east there have been protests rallying against the united states and the west in general. even in these places, however, keep in mind that these crowds number in the hundreds, perhaps thousands. in countries with tens of millions of people. they make for vivid images be u they don't tell the whole story. what ca
